I've decided to leave Proton after being a user since 2017. Today, I migrated all my services to my new domain, marking the end of my time with Proton. The recent political noise and price point were no longer justifiable for me. It was a good experience while it lasted. Thanks for the fishes 🐟 🐠

Man this community has become a Proton bitching party.

You're all exaggerating. This thing with the tweet is WAY overblown.

It's not just about a single issue, the company has changed significantly over the past 8 years. It has grown too large and now offers many products that I don't use. As a result, it no longer aligns with my needs, and I've decided to take more control, similar to when I stopped using Gmail. I'm not suggesting you should stop using it, I'm just making a personal choice that works for me.

I agree on the products thing. Bitcoin Wallet? WTF. While their staff says supporting drive sync on Linux is hard. (Yet seafile, and Google drive work on Linux)

Google does not support Drive on Linux.

If you add your Online Google Account to GNOME, it integrates your calendar, mail and adds a mapped Gdrive in Nautilus

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yes but that's not supported by Google. If your going to ding Proton Drive for not having a natove Linux client then you shouldn't tout Google Drive as a competitor who does, as they don't. You're giving Google Drive a free pass because of a third party. Google and Proton are the same on this feature and you should disparage both services equally as a result.

Google Drive doesn't support Linux. Someone made a tool for it (RClone) which also happens to work with GDrive.

And its fine if all the tools Proton provide aren't for you. I use all of them except the crypto wallet.

But it might be nice to have if one day i do use crypto.

Proton is not supporting MAGA.

Andrew Yan made ONE comment about ONE decision Trump took. Sure it was a stupid comment. But PROTON isn't bad because of this. They're being run by a foundation with some pretty competent and knowledgeable people on the board of directors, if you ever bothered to look.

Whatever you say, I guess. We didn't read the same thing then.

Anti Commercial-AI license

You posted the same link twice but neither of them mention or seem to relate to Proton?

Some people seem to think that adding a license to their comments will prevent LLMs from using them for training data. It won’t actually help at all, and is born out of a fundamental misunderstanding of how copyright law works.

It got to be pretty popular for a while when Reddit was announcing that they’re selling content as LLM training data. But these days it has become clear that it’s just virtue signaling. Most of us just side-eye the commenters who do it, because it’s basically the Reddit equivalent of one of those “Facebook will begin using all of your data unless you post this status on your page” chain letters.

Even if it legally counted, major AI companies evidently don't give two shits about legality.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago

What the heck are you on about? What does this license have to do with anything?
